The gardens were fantastic. The owner was helpful. The first night our room was a little tight for 5 so they moved us to a bigger room which was much appreciated. This is like an upscale hostel but it was fantastic. We felt right at home. You cannot beaten the price. Thumbs up.

From

It was just as described, in a safe location and very clean. We arrived there with a lot of luggage and Marc at the front desk was so nice to help us carry our luggage to our private room on the first floor. We left early the next day but we wished we could of stayed longer. Definitely recommend this place!
